ABSTRACT

The metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint is surrounded by various structures critical to its stability and function. Though the ligamentous injury to the digits is common, rupture of the metacarpophalangeal collateral ligament and a sagittal band of the same finger is not well represented in the literature. We report a chronic case of a concurrent metacarpophalangeal collateral ligament and sagittal band injury. Though surgery would have been the most appropriate treatment soon after the injury, restrictions on elective procedures due to the COVID-19 pandemic precluded surgical treatment. The patient was alternatively treated with buddy tape, and a close follow-up was done. This is the first reported case of a concurrent metacarpophalangeal collateral ligament, and sagittal band injury successfully treated using nonoperative management.
